A Wind.

A B~ostonian, who has Just returned
from a flying trip TO Portland, Ore, re-
lates how he left Chicago with the mcr-
curry at zero, and went on to find II con-
stantly sinking, until with two locomo-
tives it was difficult to get up steam

when everybody was bundled up 10 the
eyes, a man accustomed 10 the country
suddenly threw back his heavy ulster col
lar, exelaiming:
There, we've struck a Chinook wind.
Now we are all right. I'm going out on
the platform"
Those not accustomed TO the idiosyn-
crasies of the American climate in that
especial locality regarded the man as be-
side himself, but when the platform was
visited by the more daring ones II was
discovered that the temperature was that

of this warm breeze is the same as that Of

FERMENTATION Of Sherbet.

The beverage in Persia is sherbet,
which is plentifully supplied, and of
which there are many varieties-frOm the
bowl Of water with a squeeze OF lemon to
the clear concentrated juice OF any sort of
fruit TO which water is added TO dilute IL.
Preparing sherbet, which is done with the
greatest care, is a very important point
in so thirsty a country as Persia, and one
upon which much time is devoted. IL
may be either expressed from the juice Of
fruit freshly gathered or from the pre-
served extract Of pomegranates, cherries
or lemons, mixed with sugar, and sub
mitted to a certain degree Of heat to pre-
serve il for winter consumption.
Another sherbet is much drank, which
! must not omit TO mention, called guam
gebben, made from the honey OF the
tamarisk tree. This honey is not the
work Of the bee, but the produce of a
small insect or worm living in vast num-
bers under the leaves of the shrub. Dur
ing the months Of August and September
the insect is collected and the honey is
preserved. When used for sherbet it is
mixed with vinegar, and although not so
delicious as that made from fruit, ii makes
an excellent temperance beverage. Only
among the rich and fashionable are
glasses used; in all other classes sherbet
is served in china bowls, and drank from
deep wooden spoons carved in p~earwood.

Work of an Amanuensis.

Pushed as the writer always is to the
highest rate Of speed which he commands,
he must bend every energy to the task.
Brain and muscle must be strained TO the
utmost TO accomplish their work, and, the
notes completed. he must set TO work with
assiduity to transcribe them for use, a
task requiring, as he knows, four times
the period occupied by the dictation, but
which fact many otherwise intelligent
masters are frequently unable to compre-
bend. The strangest experience Of short
hand writers is the inability Of the EN-
ployer to understand the difference be-
tween a spoken and written language as
10 the proportion Of time required to pro-
duce them respectively, and the annoy
ance which is the outgrowth OF this ignor-
ance is one Of the peculiar hardships OF
the shorthand writer.
Ii is as though a messenger should be
required 20 emulate a racchorse in celer-
ity Of motion. He therefore bends all his
energies 20 hasten his transcript, and his
days work leaves him fatigued beyond
any Of his fellow clerks. For this reason
the work Is hot adapted TO women. The
strain is too great, and although in some
instances a good constitution may enable
the worker To endure for years, injury is
sustained which is generally irrcparable.

has recognized not merely the weakness
of the present Cabinet, but the utter i'm
possibility OF SiIisoury's continuing to
hold the combined Offices Of Prime Min
lister aud Foreign Secretary, as his health
suffers seriously by the strain Of the last
two years. November is the time fixed
for the change, simply because that Is
the most convenient period. The
Queen will then be back al Windsor and
Harrington will have finished his hoIi-
day Salisbury, who il to be at Hat
field House in October, will have found
time TO wind mp his affairs. We shall
then be on the eve OF political era
which commences with November. As
to the Cabinet, it Is no use Specializing
how particular Offices will be arranged,
because no details are likely to be settled
for the next three months, but it would
not be surprising TO see Cham berIain at
the Admiralty Office and Churchill in
the War Office The Cabinet under
Harrington will be limited to fourteen
members.
